that is a great idea. in my experience, the best way to solve an argument between guys in boston, just add alcohol. thank you for being with us. shepard. here's bill. bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on. tonight. >> i would never put anything past this stupid country. >> people are already complaining that you are calling the united states a stupid country and giving you a chance to clarify. >> i don't need to clarify. it is. bill: some on the far left say america is a dumb, stupid, moronic country. why are they saying that? we will find out. >> beer fest. [chanting] we're not that drunk. bill: it was miller time at the white house today, kind of. geraldo with some thoughts on the beer sitdown starring the president, professor gates, and officer crowley. >> i have been in the news recently about being in a hotel

naked and i have paparazzi outside my window. i did nothing wrong and i'm being treated like [bleep] brittany spears. bill: espn reporter being hounded by the paparazzi. what should authorities do? also a transgendered mayor has megyn kelly very upset. >> what we did here was make a mountain out of a mole hill. bill: caution, you are about to enter the no spin zonget the factor begins right now. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- bill: i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. why is the far left saying america is a dumb country? that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. leave it to bill ma, perhaps the most blunt left wing guy in the united states to say what many far left people really think while talking about sarah palin. >> do you think she has a future nationally as a presidential

candidate? >> i don't know about a presidential candidate. but i would never put anything past this stupid country. >> so, people are already complaining that you are calling the united states a stupid country. and giving you a chance to clarify. >> i don't need to clarify. it is. bill: but why do uber liberals believe the u.s.a. a s. a dumb country? governor palin obviously a fuse on this. the left despises her. the truth is the governor did pretty good job on alaska. her approval rating when she left office was 54% despite spending a lot of time outside the state. she was portrayed as dumb how does that square with office. no she didn't study at ivy league college graduating from the university of idaho. again, she did the job she was elected to do. let's compare theory a darling of the left massachusetts governor devalue patrick. he has a law degree from harvard he obvious solid a smart guy. his approval rating stands at

embarrassing 36% and the state is in chaos. so palin is dom and alaska is running fine. smart but stat is staying failing. 87% of adults ages 25 to 64 have graduated from either high school or college compared to 85% in britain and 67% in france. obviously we the people are fairly well educated. the far left ignorance meter is simply driven by ideology. if you disagree with their policies you are a moron. some on the right could that as well. i enjoy debating bill maher. sometimes he pontiff indicates without knowing the fact like when he said iraq should be divided. >> the partition is the most logical plan, the thing that could possibly get us out of there. bill: in order to have the petition work, you would have to keep u.s. troops there for probably three or four more years to supervise that kind of a partitioning of the nation. >> i don't know those kind of details. i don't think that would

probably be sail in this country since two thirds of the country is already against us being there. bill: i don't know those kind of details. now, i would never say mr. mar is dumb, even when he is light on details as sarah palin sometimes was. mar is whity. often misinformed. sometimes wrong but to question his intelligence would be unfair. just as he was unfair to call america a dumb country. as president obama might put it, he acted stupidly. that is the memo. now for the top story tonight. with us naomi wolf, the nor of the book the end of america. and dr. marc lamont hill. fox news analyst. >> i like that. bill: you are a smart guy. columbia just hired to you teach corrupt minds of students. >> conservative institution trying to prince it to the left. bill: sure it is. little red hat with star on it when maher says we are a stupid country is he saying what. >> he is saying america is

antiintellectual nation. in many ways we are. we often elect presidents whether or not we want to drink a beer with nismt has too many credentials or degrees we think he is elitist or distance from the people. skeptical from somebody from w. a high education. sarah palin not strong on intellectual gifts that proves my point. bill: i would say it absolutely does not because she did well running a state whereas a much smarter guy deval has been terrible performance. >> do you think president for the last five years. bill: hired as governor and did a good job in the state. >> president for mar is she a good presidential candidate. bill: mar said stupid. >> america might elect her as president because they are stupid. she is stupid and the voters are stupid. come on. >> she is not stupid. there is something to be said about her lack of intellectual

talent. bill: you see where i am getting here. performance level from governor palin. she is considered by the far left as a moron. it doesn't jive. she did well running the state. she is not a moron. >> i don't think -- i can't speak for the far left. i don't think america. bill: you can't? you live there come on, am in my. >> bill: you live there. >> constitution and bill of rights transcends politics. what's important is to go back to the founders and when jefferson was imagining people were going to run this public. he imagined ordinary people but educated. bill: sarah palin is educated but university of iowa degree. >> there was a clip that showed katie couric asking her what kind of magazines and snoops do you actually read and she couldn't answer the question. bill: what does that mean? >> i don't think a smart american cares if the leader of the nation went to the university of idaho or to harvard, yale or just graduated from high school. i think we, the people, care that our leaders know what's going on in the world and can

make sensible decisions on our behalf. billing bill do you think that america is a stupid country? >> die not think america is a stupid country. i think most are woeful flif misinformed. here is an example. only one in two high school students graduating take civics anymore. they are not teaching them how the structure of our republic was created and what it means to be free. half of our freshman can't identify aspects of our system. that makes us vulnerable to demagogues and to extremist on the right and the left to try to get a decision based on sound bites. bill: i understand the collapse of the public education system in this country. i used to be a high school teacher. no doubt has collapsed. it's coming back now but not much. if somebody doesn't know who their supreme court justices are or the three legislature, the executive branch, the judicial branch. they don't get that that doesn't

mean they are done. >> no, of course it doesn't mean they are done. it's a serious matter for the republicans that people can be misguided. >> it's because measures are smart, doctor. they have watched barack obama try to explain it and he can't. they said, you know what? i don't know microhealth care issues i know the president does not know what he is talking about, at least right now. >> of the problem though is when you have a nation unwilling to read bills. that's anti-intellectual posture. i want to go with my gut. bill: nobody can read a thousand page. >> i'm not contradicting you but taking issue. i wrote a see get called give me liberty how american can run and leafed things. those bills are income prehence cybil on purpose. you can't i couldn't know stand them and no one is translating them. go on the web site of state and local representative and understand in plain english

what's coming up. i am saying at this mojt to woeful intellects job. shouldn't to read 4 4urbgs page. bill: whoa, whoa. i am the anchor. you guys can go out to dinner afterwards. you are getting astray here. the far left elitist portray any populace as a bum kin. that's the problem. >> that's their mistake. bill: that's right. if you are pro choice. you are a bum kin. if you go to church, you are an idiot. that's why the far left in this country is despised and will never ever have any power. giving you 20 and giving you 20. >> i don't disagree with the idea there is a level of elitism on the far left. there is something to be shifting so we become more invested in incident length actual inquiry. bill: i want people to be informed as possible. go ahead 20 seconds. >> i have been hammering on the

far left as you put it because there is this indistinct to talk down to people if you have a gun or go to church or pro life they're is this ajudges -- shepard: brill have trouble getting that through. say i don't vote for you. i don't have a gun but i respect you. bill: you all should acknowledge that sarah palin did a good job as governor of alaska. >> i cannot go there. biffle bill 55% of the people in alaska say she did. you have no right to say she didn't. >> she quit. what kind of role model is that to our young girls who want to run for president. she quit. she gave it up. bill: while she was there she was effective. bill: next on the rundown. laura ingraham will analyze the drink fest today in d.c. and, later, transgender mayor in oregon has megyn

bill: most overcovered story in recent years. the president and vice president met with professor gates and officer crowley at the white house. the four sat around drinking a little brew, chatting. nobody could hear what they said. they were also snacks. after the gab fest sergeant crowley said this. >> what you had today was two gentlemen agree to disagree on a particular issue. i don't think that we spent too much time dwelling on the past. we spent a lot of time discussing the future. >> but he wouldn't tell us what he discussed. joining us from washington is fox news analyst laura ingraham. i hate this story. i hate it. >> don't even get me started on this. bill: i hate it? >> first of all, why are we covering. this i love you, you know, love the factor. bill: we have to cover it it's a breaking news story on a thursday night.

it happened two minutes ago. comment on. >> we had other networks with green screens pulling down the geography of the white house lawn. one of six stories. >> meanwhile we are covering a phony meeting that president obama stepped in that was never racial that was never improperly handled. we are all covering this like it's a combination of yulta and potstan. it's embarrassing. bill: when you say it isn't important. other people may say, look, in the president of the united states injects himself into a controversy. a local controversy and disparges the police activity there that elevates the story and that's why we are covering it you know that. >> obviously, that's the story when the president decided that he was going to be at arbiter of

what was stupid and what moss not stupid in law enforcement issue which is incredibly difficult to deal with i love the fact that the officer came out and he faced the press and answered some questions. i kept saying wouldn't it be great if professor gates was out there answering questions from the press that would have been fun to hear the two of them together because i want to know whether he got the apology. bill: i think they were told by the white house not to say anything pacific. not to keep the story rolling. gates is on his way back to martha's vineyard. >> of course. bill: crowley looks like a standup guy to me. >> he does. bill: one thing he said was we agreed to disagree. he said hey, i didn't do anything wrong. that's what that was all about. >> think about this. we have a thousand page health care legislation. making its way in different forms through congress, right? >> yeah. we have the president's popularity crumbling. we, as a media, we are all focusing on this beer summit with countdowns to the summit

with clocks actually ticking on cable news. i find it appalling. bill: what show is that? i didn't see that? >> bill, they have a count down clock to the beer summit. i kid you not. ok. i'm watching, this thinking, wait a second, i feel like i'm back at darth mouth and i'm back in the beta house fraternity segment. bill: does the story die tonight, laura? >> i hope. i think there could be a reality show with gates and crowley that would actually be a lot of fun. maybe fox could spin that off. bill: mad squad. >> i will be julie lipton. i will volunteer for that i loved the mad squad. don't you miss that show? no i liked it a little. i don't miss it i have things to do. >> by the way, did you notice when they were all toasting with the beer mugs, remember, sigh that photo? where wassed bien in that photo? bill: he is smoking pot. no, he is not.

i like biden. he goes to the ukraine, he says the girls are interesting. biden is the only one that drank the beer. >> the funniest thing about this was in all of the white house they could only find a waiter owho could bring one mug at a time. my mother was a waitress until she was 74 years old. she could have carried the four mugs all at once. come on. bill: and obama at the same time time. bill: four mugs and obama. obama is pretty light. >> jeefs coming out. bill: this is a big dog and pony show. there is an overarch that americans need to think about. because we are very, very touchy

about race still. we still haven't put that down. we are not all americans. somebody said the other day there is no african canadians. there are no italian canadians. they were all canadians. >> officer crowley showed he is beyond race and he was doing his job answered should be saluted. bill: is he a tough guy crowley. lawyer remarks thanks very much. directly ahead, as we mention why are people so touchy about race? geraldo with the answer. and then body language we will take a look at obama's initial x@ñpppp@ppgnited the

bill: as you know president obama, professor henry gates and cambridge police officer james crowley all had a beer together at the white house today. big dog and pony show because of the racial controversy involving the professor and the sergeant. here now to analyze the get together geraldo rivera. you don't take this seriously. this is just a photo on. this is not going to leads to anything is, it. >> i am a little tipsy right now, bill. bill: have you been rehearsing. >> i tried to put myself in the minds of the participants. no, i think,oh contrar. i think this is a very big moment. i believe that the whole issue of race and justice. remember, have not, i believe, been discussed in the white house since the clinton race

initiative back in 1998. bill: they are sitting at a picnic table. there is a pool camera. >> symbols mean a lot. pictures sometimes mean a lot. here you have the president who admittedly overreacted with the stupid to use the stupidly adverb. crowley, i believe, was out of line. i think professor gates didn't control. bill: why would you believe the police officer was out of line because he handcuffed him on his own property? >> i believe that is a big deal and also it appears from the lucia whalen that she never brought up race. that whoever conjured up the two black men with the backpacks that got in crowley's police report indicates that somebody was seeing race. bill: you know how it is. look, i wasn't there. i don't know who is at fault. >> i think there is plenty of blame to go around. that's not the point. bill: how about gates? >> he had to control himself. please, a harvard professor of all people. my wife has held me back at times. you know, i am easily recognizable. but in the moment before i am

recognized. there have been times particularly over this long 40 years public career i have had where i have had incidents with cops or others in uniform officials of this sort or that sort and they start reacting and i get really uptight because don't you know ohio am in my goodness -- bill: you don't look -- you know. >> why did he look like this infirm man who use as wheelchair and a cane. bill: dark and guys trying to get in the house. >> the issue would it have happened would it have come down that way if gates were not black? that's a big issue. bill: i don't know. who is to blame for the incident incident? 7% say gates. 25% crowley. that's about even. see, taps low -- americans don't know what happened there. and then most people disapprove of the way president obama handled it which is why having the beer fest today. 29% saying he handled it well. now, what is it in america that

we still have every two seconds a racial controversy? remember when i went up to sylvias and had dinner with al sharpton and said on my radio show, sylvias is just like any other restaurant in america. a nice place with nice people. i got served great. then the left wing turned it into i was denigrating saying oh, he didn't think sylvias was going to be nice. >> or that those people have barbecue friday. bill: context piece of garbage. why is this continued to be used as a sledge hammer against people in ideological battles? >> you worked in boston in the 80's. long history of race problems, particularly in the -- in many, many communities boston has a sorry mel alan can any legacy. common ground during the 80's. talking about it here you had the boston cops calling gates a

jungle bunny and getting suspended. >> one cop and he got fired immediately. >> my point is you cannot seriously argue that black people and latino people have a different bundle of experience. that's where it starts and that's the resentment and that's where gate's pride comes in. bill: gates is a smart guy and has done very well in america. ok? he at a heart beat turned this into a racial incident. he did. he turned it into a racial incident. he is an educated guy. set top of the psycho also a particular chain. now, maybe it was, maybe, it doesn't look like this guy, the police officer, crowley had a pretty good record. >> no doubt. bill: this guy, gates, i know him a little bit because i attended harvard when he was there he just, bang, it's race, it's race. i'm going wait a minute, that

should be fifth on the list. not first. >> wrong. i'm telling you. wrong because is he a big cheese in harvard. he sees himself in the way that we maybe carry ourselves. how dare you not recognize me. it's in his home. in his foyer. i mean, imagine if it were you. i mean, there would be. bill: me i would have said hey, i live here. here is my license. >> beholding me like this. bill: that's the difference between you and me. i would say hey thanks for showing up because you thought guys were breaking in. that's what i would have said. >> there are imnumerous measurable surveys and studies done that show what? they show that people respond differently. race matters in this country. when there is a black person involved in something or a brown person or a white person, we respond differently. even minorities respond differently to minorities. that's why often you have minority cops involved in these incidents. there is a different bundle of experiences. hopefully the president can help us move past it and get to a new

era. bill: it will be a shock if that happens. budweiser a fine beer. bill: plenty more ahead as the factor moves along. body language weighs in on the controversy. tonya why man weighs in. megyn kelly has sharp comments for a gecko vo: geico's the third-largest car insurance company in the nation. but, it's not like we're kicking back, now, havin' a cuppa tea. gecko vo: takes lots of sweat to become that big. gecko vo: 'course, geckos don't literally sweat... it's just not our thing... gecko vo: ...but i do work hard, mind you. gecko vo: first rule of "hard work equals success." gecko vo: that's why geico is consistently rated excellent or better in terms of financial strength. gecko vo: second rule: "don't steal a coworker's egg salad, 'specially if it's marked "the gecko." come on people.

bill: body language segment tonight. president obama's most controversial comment ever.

>> i think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. number two, that number two, the cambridge police acted stawndly in arresting somebody when when there was already proof that they were in their own home. in my choice of words i think i unfortunately gave an impression that i was maligning the cambridge police department or sergeant crowley specifically. and i could have calibrated those words differently. bill: here now the queen of body language, tonya reiman. first of all, what's the difference between body language when he said stupidly and the one where he was call celebrating? >> oh a big difference. bill: vast difference. >> very big difference. his voice is strong in the first speech. is he talking. one of the interesting things i picked up on. as he was talking, watch how he nods his head up and down. that means you believe in what

you are saying. here this is a tactic that people use when they're trying to illillicit agreement with ot. bill: trying to persuade. telling everybody else don't you agree that gets other people nodding back to you. that was something interesting that i thought he did. in addition is he smiling. little grins, one sided smirks. is he very confident here. when you get to the second clip. flat voice. eyebrows tense. lower eyelid is tense. upper eyelid is tense. everything has just changed completely. there is more frustration. bill: look at his face. it's much more. >> somber. bill: tense. in the first one he was kind of flippant. >> fun. bill: hey. >> a lot of mouth tightening on this one, too. bill: i know you are not an expert in policy. i continue to be absolutely amazed that he actually said the police acted stupidly. i was shocked that he said it.

>> you have no. >> that's not putting me on the spot. i was surprised as well. >> was that slick for a year and a half has just wowed everybody to say something that ridiculous ridiculous. >> yous did the d. notice that his blink went up when he did that there was probably some thought process afterwards. bill: he went out there cock of the walk. stupid, and everybody should know it and then everybody didn't know it he is back going oh, i have got to calibrate. whatever that means. sarap, we have not talked to ms. tonya about her resignation. let's role roll the tape on that. >> first, some straight talk for some, just some in the media. because another right protected for all of us is freedom of the press. democracy depends on you. and that is why our troops are willing to die for you. so, how about, in honor of the american soldier, you quit making things up.

bill: ok, first of all the fingers, all right in the fingers out and what does that mean? >> really all she was trying to do is let everybody know this isn't about you. this is about them. they are not you. so she is not talking to the audience. she doesn't want them to feel like she is being aggressive with them. points the fingers out wards which takes the pressure off the audience. she makes the point. zeroing in on trying to say the press is a bunch of idiots. you put the adjective in there changes of body language a little doing that the fist gets clinched, right? >> she also leans forward. kind of that bonding technique where this is you and i. i'm giving you the truth. i'm telling you the truth. because when you lean into someone it's that let's share something, you afternoon i. she did that here again, i noticed the voice is high pitched. bill: it always is with her. >> no. there is distinct differences. certain chords she goes higher. bill: when she gets annoyed she goes higher, right? >> when she gets stressed or gets annoyed. right there though there was

also her tongue thrusted out that was right before she -- how about we give some truth telling there. almost like she questioned whether or not she should say it and then ran with it. bill: i have one more question about, you come back to us. i have got to could this on camera. this means it's all of us together, i want all of us together to participate nit in my thought process, right? when you have fingers like this? >> when you round it, right. bill: when i do this and she did that, too, with the finger, all right? that means you better watch out or what? >> that's an aggressive tactic. what people feel like is when you go like, this it's almost like you're being so aggressive and you are pointing your guns that's a big double barrels people people people don't like that finger? >> no. bill: finally katie couric got revenge on a "new york times" reporter giving her a hard time. roll the tape on that. >> the article contained not one, not two, but seven errors about his life and career. while he may have relished the report that he had stormed the beaches on normed on d-day, he was actually in a warplane high

above. and walter's coverage of neil armstrong's giant leap for mankind came on july 20th, 1969, not july 26th. the paper issued a correction that seemed as long as the article itself. walter cronkite used to say get it first but get it right. so as we say goodbye to the dean of tv news, let's all remember as journalists when we say that's the way it is, it really is. bill: she is slamming a woman named alexandra san dry who slammed her in the past. kind of caddie, right? >> some of it was so slight that i wondered if she even realized she was feeling what she was sending out. you know what i mean? bill: i think she realized it. some of it was very slight. i loved at the end she like had nice chinout. chin goes up in the air. bill: does that mean spear or at this? >> yeah. bill: we are much better than you, you idiot? >> how could you make seven mistakes in one article. bill: tonya reiman.

when we come right back kelly have chinout with a transgender mayor in oregon who is making a skeptical of herself. investigating acorn off the factor's i was always going having to go in the middle of traffic and just starting and stopping. having to go in the middle of a ballgame and then not being able to go once i got there. and going at night. i thought i had a going problem. my doctor said i had a growing problem. it wasn't my bladder. my prostate was growing. i had an enlarging prostate that was causing my urinary symptoms. my doctor prescribed avodart. (announcer) over time, avodart actually shrinks the prostate and improves urinary symptoms. so i can go more easily when i need to go and go less often. (announcer) avodart is for men only. women should not take or handle avodart due to risk of a specific birth defect. do not donate blood until 6 months after stopping avodart. tell your doctor if you have liver disease. rarely sexual side effects, swelling or tenderness of the breasts can occur.

only your health care provider can tell if symptoms are from an enlarged prostate and not a more serious condition like prostate cancer. so have regular exams. call your doctor today. avodart. help take care of your growing problem

>> thanks for staying with us, i'm bill o'reilly in the kelly file segment tonight, silverton, oregon is a town southeast of portland, population 7400. the mayor of the town is stu says is he a transgender person. meaning he dresses like a woman does stu. that causes controversy he showed up at a youth event in heels and short skirt. the factor producer was a bit confused by all of that and sought out mr. rasmussen. >> well, do you think it's appropriate to wear that type of clothing in front of 10-year-olds? 11-year-olds and 12-year-olds?

>> these 10 and 11-year-olds been coming to my business for a years on first name business. >> what about traditional families, don't you think their children should have the option of having their children not see that? >> this is 2009. i mean, would these same families 30 or 40 years ago be concerned that the mayor had showed up and happened to be black? we live in a democracy. the community has decided they elected me as their mayor. now, i will admit there is a possibility that what i was wearing was maybe inappropriate for that particular situation and in that case, what the director should have done was taken me aside at that time and said, stu, this may not be appropriate and we could discuss that that wasn't the route that was taken. bill: here now attorney and fox news anchor megyn kelly. i have got to be careful on this one. it's so bizarre. >> i lived in oregon for a year. it's a beautiful state it's secular progressive heaven. every left wing loon in the world is running around including stu. what do you say? >> listen, stu should be hugging

and embracing the people of silverton, oregon. that is a secular progressive town. this town elected him mayor and he does go by he; knowing that this was what they were getting. they clearly had no problem with. this he, how does he thank them? he shows up at leadership event for children dressed in a tank top and microminiskirt and super high red heels. totally violating the city dress code which was in effect and he knew was in effect before he goes there it clearly bans miniskirts and bans tank tops for women. i woven even tell you what the dress code is for men. technically is he still a man notwithstanding the breasts. and so there is no doubt he violated it and when they wrote a letter saying hey, he violated it, and that's not acceptable, what does he do? he threatens a lawsuit. he threatens a lawsuit based on transgender discrimination. no one is even talking about that. bill: they like stu. >> they do like stu. his thanks is to call them

intolerant and to threaten a lawsuit. stu, listen, i don't -- stu is an interesting person. he says it was very hot that day. it was hot and sticky outside. he said he got a lot of compliments on the outfit, bill. he also says that he does identify as a male. that he has got a girlfriend. he changed the upstairs. bill: stu has a girlfriend. >> he didn't change the downstairs. when he got elected he said i think this is just about the coolest town on earth. just before he broke down a tear gently ran through his eye liner liner. bill: did the tear hit the miniskirt? do we know how far about went down. >> could you find a more progressive opening town. the woman who complained is the woman who invited him to speak to the 11 and 12-year-olds. that's a woman he is threatening a lawsuit against now. bill: do you think children need to be protected against the likes of stu? >> i don't, actually, no. bill: so you are at this little awards ceremony, ok? in oregon and you are 14 and stu comes chasing in. and you don't think 14-year-olds

need to be shielded from that? >> no, i don't. >> they have to be confronted can stu. >> i don't. there are transgenderred people here. they are not bad. they have, you know, an issue, obviously that's been recognized and protected in many places by the law. and most of these people have led very tortured lives where they have sought to change and it get to their happy place by going through an incredible amount of heartache and physical trauma. bill: you don't think children need protected from this. >> i think it's difficult to handle as a parent. they are part of our society and children need to understand that to the extent we can explain it. bill: ok. now, we feel sorry for this erin andrews who works as a sports reporter for espn. she is the one who was violated by a cyber stalker who photographed her through hotel room dressing. now the paparazzi is stalking miss andrews all over the country. she finally had to call 911. roll the tape.

>> yeah, i did nothing wrong. i'm being treat bill: you know, i don't think i would have released that 911 call if i had any say about it. >> they had to because it's a public record. and once you file that request for it, you are going to get it. bill: who filed a request? >> probably the media. bill: now, she calls 911, and she says, look, i can't go out of of my house. they surrounded me and i have got to would to work or go to church or i have got to go somewhere. do the police respond or escort her and get the people away? what do they do? >> apparently that's what happened. the lawyer said if you see paparazzi show up call the cops and get the people off. i think the reason is she lives in a gated community that's not

enoto the general public. if this were a general sidewalk where most people most people don't live in a gated community. the paparazzi would have had the right to be on the sidewalk and she would have been in a tougher position. >> how about public safety though? if the woman fears walking out of her own house or getting in her car, you know, what about that? >> unfortunately for her it doesn't matter. i feel nor this woman. i think what happened to her is absolutely disgusting. i cannot imagine what a victim she must feel like. how violated she must feel right now. can i understand now seeing more paparazzi sitting outside of your doorenned n. a gated community where they are not supposed to be, you would be scared. can you imagine what she is going through. good for for her for calling 11. people are criticizing her for dropping the f-bomb. she is upset. look what happened to her. she used some foul language. she got upset. she didn't do anything wrong. she did the right thing. the cops apparently did come and take care of the situation. bill: when you say they took care of the situation. what are the police powers?

can they make people move along? >> well, it depends. you are right. it depends. because you could come up with a loitering charge or something like that even on a public sidewalk. bill: what's your business here? >> right. normally when it's pressed, bill, they can't do that you and i go as press people and we cover events and sometimes you have to be on a public sidewalk out of somebody's house in the duke lacrosse case in the rape case, i had to be outside of the accuser's house, here she was, you know, at that point a potential rape victim. bill: the police couldn't move you away. >> i had the right to be there. you get b roll of the person's house. you have the right as the media to do that that's not the same as being a pandz, i would argue. do you have to be sensitive that this person how are dealing with could be a potential crime victim. in this case she clearly is. but,. bill: but the law does not really protect. >> the press has to do their job as well. bill: the law doesn't protect you against intrusions from the media. >> not when it comes to public property. bill: you can chase people down the street. we ambush bad guys.

you know, we do. >> that's our job. our job is to confront newsmakers, and right enough to she has become a newsmaker. >> she is in a vortex where her life is a living hell. >> that's right. the sat thing i learned today is that apparently they are not even investigating this case very aggressively. no one has even contacted the web site that first posted the nude video. no cops have contacted them. bill: megyn kelly, everybody. up next, big reality check, louisiana is moving against acorn off information provided by the factor. and then the beach boys stepping up to help some wounded warriors. ♪ jamaica ♪ i want to take you to bermuda,

. .

bill: reality check where we aggressively pursue the truth wherever it may lead us, check one, as you may know the factor and the glenn beck program have been investigating the community organization acorn, which has had big trouble across the country. well, we found out that millions of dollars are flowing into a former funeral home in new orleans with acorn controlling the money so we asked louisiana governor bobby jendle to launch a state investigation. now, that has happened louisiana attorney general buddy caldwell

says corruption unit is looking into acorn and its affiliates. caldwell has set up a phone number if anyone has any information about acorn you can call 225-326-6120. so way to go louisiana and we'll keep you all posted on what they find out. check 2. with the u.s. government currently spending massive amounts of money, some are worried that speculators will bet against the u.s. dollar, perhaps driving it down that would l. drastically hurt working and retired americans. one spotlight is on far left billionaire george soros. >> i would imagine you are still having some discussions with the fund managers who are managing the fund on a daily basis. would you be advising them to be be -- dollar. >> it's a complicated thing. of course i know exactly what the dollar is going to do. but i'm not at liberty. >> you are not going to tell me? bill: this is no laughing matter. i believe soros does know the

dollar is heading for big trouble. we will keep you potioned. we are closely watching him and other speculators. george soros almost ruined the british pound a few years ago. he made billions in the process. check three, president obama's doctor who treated him for 20 years doesn't much like the president's health care vision. >> if we don't go to the route of single pair we are making a terrible mistake. as long as his program has private health insurance, it is not going to work. the majority of it is going to be private health insurance. it will not simplify things. bill: wow. dr. scheiner 70 years old wants to eliminate all private health insurance companies in the u.s.a. yet another radical chicago associate of the president. interesting. check four, katie couric says michael jackson once asked her out on a date. i swear. >> i met him. i was kind of nervous. we shook hands. he was sweet. he had weird tape on his nose. he had a lot of nose surgery going on at the time. he told me he was working on a

screenplay edgar allen poe. i said i'm seeing i'm flattered. i admired his work but i can't do it but key come moon walk in my kitchen for my kids? -- i didn't say that. bill: which leads us to check five, apparently jackson's pet a chimp named bubbles was left millions in the singer's will. bubbles reacted this way. ♪ i am the one ♪ the kid is not my son ♪ woo! ♪ chimp says i am the one ♪ but the kid is not my son ♪ no, no. bill: check predicts many bananas in bubble's future. finally check 6 simon the rabbit not in the running for millions but he is trying. >> [drum roll]

>> good boy. >> god it. bill: unlike bubbles, simon works cheap. that is reality check. pinheads and patriots on deck tonight starring the beach boys and 7-year-old car thief in a moment. . (announcer) that ball is going, going, gone! home run! (announcer) he's sweet. even with one third less sugar than soda. kool-aid. delivering more smiles per gallon.

bill: time now for "pinheads & patriots"." last night i went to see the beach boys on long island, the best summer pop group of all-time. ♪ she cruised through the hamburger stands now ♪ seems she forgot all about the library like she told her old man now ♪ and with the radio blasting went cruising as fast as she

can now ♪ and she'll have fun fun fun till her daddy takes the t-bird away ♪ bill: all right, great tune. while talking to the guys back stage they told me they're launching a project to help soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder. i told them "the factor" would help any way we could. the beach boys remain patriots. apparently some kids will do anything to get out of going to church. authorities in plain city, utah, released a dash cam video of a 7-year-old boy leading them on a slow-speed chase. the boy didn't want to go to church, so he stole his father's car keys and made a run for it in the car. there he goes! get him, get him! police say they will not charge the kid, but his parents should, if you know what i mean. and if the parents don't know what i mean, they are pinheads. finally tonight, my book remains one the bestsellers in the country, and that's after 10 months in the marketplace. we thank you all for supporting the book. can't find a better va

indication read or audio. of course, i may be prejudiced. now the letters, from tom in hawthorne, new jersey. "bill, you are such a phony. one day after you chastised bill marfor calling america stupid, dick morris does the same thing and you didn't blink." if you saw the segment, you know he was talking specifically about how americans perceived the health care plan, so your analysis is bogus. i suspect you didn't see the segment. if that's the case, give it up, man. those propaganda mills are making you look bad. jerry from texas. "i agree with dick morris. americans are stupid when it comes to evaluating obama." frank daniels from nevada. "bill, you redeemed yourself when you acknowledged that president obama has not acknowledged his original birth certificate. i believe you may be right in saying arrogance prevents him from doing that." " >> the obama white house refuses because it ridicules those who ask for it.

it's a tactic. mary from california. "bill, how can you laugh at blacks talking about leprechauns in alabama? how can that be considered racist, while laughing at a white woman talking gibberish in scruse is ok?" mary's talking about a segment last night and raises an excellent point. "did you know that abraham lincoln was described as a pettifogger?" >> "my husband an i are in our 20's and love "the factor." young americans steadily follow you. that's what the ratings say. "the factor" has more younger viewers than any cable news program in the country by far. todd from anthem, arizona. "my wife and i recently listened to "bold fresh" on our

road trip. we had to pull off the highway, because we were laughing so hard." again, i hope you guys were laughing with me, rather than at me. thanks for buying the book, todd. you never know when they say they're laughing. how about our website? www.foxnews.com. you can access "talking points" on the website. please email with pithy comments from anywhere in the world, name and town if you wish to opine, and when writing to us, here is the word of the day. please do not be meretricious. do not be that when corresponding with "the o'reilly factor." i'm bill o'reilly.com. check out premium membership ant get double discounts.
